AcoNvENTIoN CALLED
For White, Colored, Delaware,
ana Shawnee Citizens.

CLAnrMoHE, c. n, I. T., May 18th, lss7.
EDITOR INDIAN CHIEFTAIN -
The white citizens Of the Cherokee
nation, the colored, the Delaware
and Shawnee Indians, have agreed
to hold a convention jointly, to
consider their respective rights ard
connection with the Cherokee peo-
pie, as provided Tor under treaties
and constitution and laws of the
Cherokee nation. The time is set
for the last Friday and Saturday
in May, 1887, and the place to be
at Capt. Curlyhead's, Cooweescoo-
wee district, about twelve miles
west Of Coody's Bluff. All per-
sons interested in the different
districts of the Cherokee nation
are cordially invited, by
j. II. BENNETT.

THE PLATFORMS.
Their consideration Continued
by Mr.. Beck.

The seventh section of the Ma
tional party, is a pretension that
it will give all citizens by treaty an
enjoyment of equal rights with ma
tive Cherokees, and should friend
ly differences arise, with either
class of adopted citizens, in regard
to their respective rights to the
National property, the National
party will without any spirit of
contention, but for fairness sake.
and to effect a final settlement of
such question, invite a reference
ofthe difference to whatever Judi
cial tribunal may be appropriate
and designated to decide the points
at issue. In this section an at
atempt is made to conceal what
the National party considers the
status of these very mentioned
classes by settling these "friendly
differences" in the courts.
"Should" any friendly differences
arise" reads as though they never
did arise, when every one knows
that these very differences" have
been the outgrowth of a question
that in this election will blindfold,
buck and gag the National party
and consign it to eternal obscuri-
ty. There is no politician Of the
National party who has sufficient
wisdom and sagacity to satisfacto-
rily explain the definite meaning
of these differences to charge the
minds and opinions of the negroes,
Shawnees and Delawares in regard

those that don't read can learn
from those among them who can,
that by treaty and agreements
they have all the rights to nation
al property that "native Chero-
keesn have. The National party
can in the embodiment of that
phrase in the platform, without
any spirit of contention whatever
debar them from any rights to
national property. And not only
national property, but the farms
and homes they spentyears in max
ing on Cherokee soil, believing
the government under which they
were living had too much honor,
too much respect for itself TO vio-
late all long established precedents,
as-wcll ns the treaty she made
wi th the United States government
twenty years ago. Such is sfolly !;
it is ridiculous in. the estimation Of
any organized government in the
world, Except itselD for if this
government can take what belongs
to them by treaty, on the same
principle Qfjustice, why can't she
take from them with impunity
their property and improvements
With a change in the administra-
tion ofthis government they expect
a change in regard TO what they
understand to be their rights, and
as sure as the change comes they
will fully realize what it is to be
citizen of the Cherokee govern
ment, for the Downing party
pledges them all the rights guar
anteed them by treaty and agree
ments. The sixth and seventh
sections of the Downing platform
opposes the sale and settlement
of our lands to any but Indians.
Investments in land are considered
better than money, and that they
will be needed for posterity. 1t
looks upon railroads in our midst
without our consent as an infringe
ment upon our rights, and a viola
tion of treaty stipulation. Upon
these two provisions the destiny
of this nation hinges. In the Fl St
place it practically sets aside tHe
question 1f disposing of any of our
lands TO any but Indians in COM
pliance with treaty. Posterity
will as surely need them as we are
a nation of people. The genera.
tion that will succeed us on the
stage OF action will glorify the name
OF their forefathers, as we glorify
ours, by transmitting 10 them un-
impaired a heritage of millions of
acres OF land for agricultural and
other purposes. Therefore the
Downing party desires to trans
NIT to them an unquestioned title
to all the lands Of the Cherokee
nation. The battle with railroads
has long been one with the Chero-
KEGS. For a number of years they
have been struggling for rights Of
Way through this territory. The
Downing party will defend the in
terests Of this nation by making no

MANY people are under the delusion
that hard freezing destroys the vitality
OF germs. Recent experiments in the
East have demonstrated that this is
untrue. The experiments of DR..
Pruden, of New York, show that
bacilli live and flourish in ice-water
In single pint Of ice-water made
from melted ice he found on the aver
age, by actual count, about 500, 900 Of

know that collecting ice from impure
